Title: Playstation - State of Play
Post by: pokeplayer984 on March 25, 2019, 09:45:27 PM
Well, Sony has gone and made their own Direct like Nintendo did.  Introducing... State of Play.

Well, are there any games you are interested in?  Only a few here I'll keep an eye on.  Right now, my PS4 is just collecting dust.  Here's hoping more will come for me.

Ah! I wonder what PS has been up to, canceling their PSX convention and not showing up for E3. I guess they thought this was the easier way to announce things. Here are my opinions on the games after watching the video:
Spoiler: ShowHide

Iron Man VR:
Cool idea, might get this depending on the price.

CTR:
I have very little interest in CTR as it wasn't part of my childhood, but the remake seems faithful and looks good :)

No Mans Sky:
Ah man! I really hope this VR update also comes to PC as that is where I own the game. Definitely interested in trying it out. Didn't see what the other new features were though.

ReadySet Heroes:
Looked fun, up until they got to the PVP part. Instant turn-off for me. But a good idea for others, I guess!

Blood and truth:
Meh! PSVR is nice, but I don't really see what this game is about just yet.

Observation:
Too spooky for me! :D

FNAF:
See above :P

Concrete Genie:
Yesss! I want this game so bad :D It looks absolutely beautiful and the gameplay looks intriguing.

Days Gone:
Aboslutely looks like an interesting story, though the gameplay isn't for me. Always a bit annoyed with games/series that try to use other words than 'zombies'. What, everything in our world is the same, except the name for the undead? ;)

Might watch a let's play of this once it is out.

Mortal Kombat 11:
While Fighters are not for me, I appreciate the universe of characters that is MK. Looks impressively bloody, as expected ;)


In general it is nice to see PlayStation investing in VR and I am very curious to see if they will make even more games for it. Either way I approve! Any games you are excited for specifically, Pokeplayer?

I figure CTR might be a fun racing game to try.  Ready Set Heroes I'll keep an eye on.  I'm Hoping for a console release with Blood & Truth.  No thank you for Observation and FNAF, though I won't shy away for a view of a Let's Play of them during Halloween.  Concrete Genie might be fun if I can keep my feelings of the bullies in check. (Seriously, it's what keeps me from the game Bully in general.)  That's pretty much it.


Though I just looked at the comments for this video.  Looks like people are upset at Sony for making an inferior copy of Nintendo's idea.  They're not wrong.

Yeah - not sure what their game plan is with this State of the Game thing. I always get a bit icky when people say copied though. Can't they have been inspired by Nintendo instead? Can't say I get worked up about Sony making such a video, but apparently a majority of the viewers disagrees with me there.
